[MRELEASE-1078] Support version policy to read and use SCM tags and commits (original) (raw)

My aim is to support having something like https://www.conventionalcommits.org/ in the maven-release-plugin.

This simply means that the next version of a release is calculated from the last tag in the version history and the patterns in the commit messages since that tag.

This issue depends on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCM-977 being available (i.e. we have the commit messages and tags available).

depends upon

New Feature - A new feature of the product, which has yet to be developed. MRELEASE-431 Configuration of policy for calculating next (release) version

is blocked by

New Feature - A new feature of the product, which has yet to be developed. SCM-977 Support for retrieving tags from the changelog
